About
The 34-month Advanced Education Program in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Residency Program begins during July each year and integrates biomedical sciences and clinical sciences to provide a unique opportunity to earn a Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in conjunction with a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology.
Six residents are admitted each year and those who graduate will be able to successfully complete all examinations and case presentations required for board certification and to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Students accepted into the Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics program will also be enrolled to earn a Master of Science in oral biology. This is a combined program within the dental school. The master’s degree is not open for enrollment independent of the certificate program.
